Came here a couple of times when the kids were little. Coming back this month and I can’t wait. Thanks for these videos I have a list of where I want to try now ❤
Yes another great video, also watched the live one till end couldn't stop watching , it was brilliant, i was lookin at Cristianos now I'm thinking Albufeira. Thanks for the ideas
For those who don't don't know Albufeira, it's called the "party town". Not the most charming town in the Algarve, it's quite during the day, family oriented (beach and restaurants). At night the town is wild! Stag and Hen parties, live music, etc. This video shows the old town, which has quite a lot. But if it isn't enough, 2kms east, there's more pubs and nights clubs / restaurants.
Got to say Kev , that resort looks fantastic, especially at night, great bars & restaurants, everything you want by the look of it , terrific atmosphere about with all the live music. Think I need to be visiting this place .👍
Got to say, what more could you want from a holiday, Albufeira is right up there, I stayed near the new town and only had a fleeting visit to the old town when I was there half a dozen years ago, but the old town looked fantastic there, the new town for stags n hens, so impressed by the old town, maybe one of your best videos Kevin imo⭐
agree Linda, lacks the charm of Benidorm old town but cant be beat for atmosphere . If you like Benidorm old town you would like it here I think its a bit more lively.
Love this Kevin nine years since I visited the old town staying in the Muthu oura praia hotel October looking forward to the lively nights along the strip 🌃🍹💃🙂
Excellent videos as usual kev a nice big clean looking beach I particularly like the nightlife in albufeira plenty to see and do the hotel rooms appeared to be pretty basic but clean and tidy which is all you really want overall a kind of holiday I'd enjoy I am thinking of going somewhere I've never been before and albufeira ticks all the boxes so maybe there in the meantime kev keep up all your good work and don't forget to keep your excellent videos coming thank you Kevin greetings from Swansea South Wales
No wonder you went back Kevin. It’s a lovely place the old town. I never went in at night as we were a bus ride away but it’s full of character. It’s nice to see it in the evening so thanks for that.
Wow - that looked great Kev, I haven't been for years but looks like I need to revisit - loved it when you said that the yolo bar had a secret garden but you couldn't find it ! Keep up the good work mate - Dave.
Going back to Albufuirea for the first time in 16 years , usually Adeje or Benidorm , always liked it ,spent many night in the rock bar ,and used to be a doorman there 7ft .1 tall so friendly.love all your video post .
Kevin, this was brill video. I watch all your Tenerife vlogs as we go there 3 times a year. We went to Albufeira for 15 years in a tow with the kids before the fled the nest. Haven’t been for a while however as luck would have it my son is getting married in Vilamoura in July and we are staying in Brisa Sol in Albufeira. Your videos have brought back great memories and make me look forward to my visit in July even more. Thanks again.
Kevin, great video. I watch all you vlogs from Tenerife as we go there 3 times a year. Went to Albufeira 15 years in a row when the kids were young however havent been for a while. As luck would have it, my son is getting married in Vilamoura in July and we are staying in Albufeira for 2 weeks. Was looking forward to it, but even more after watching your vlogs. Brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Hey Kev ..I'm delighted that you're enjoying Albufeira...I've been many a time and it is a great place and only 2and a half hours flight time from Dublin
Great video of a great place. Been there a couple of times. Albuferia goes under the radar with a lot of people. I'm always recommending it to people. Hope to see you in tenerife on your rounds in early August 👍
Thanks Kevin watch again as we going 3 wks time , we finally getting here . Thought was going last year to but went turkey, love your talking while filming good content and Amsterdam .
@@ScotsmaninTenerife no problem! It’s over 15yrs since we were here, so the videos were a great refresher. Already been to a few of the places you mentioned in your videos!
Hi Kevin, just down the hill at the start of the video is a cracking restaurant on the beach called Vivaldos 👌 The one you couldn't read near the top on the left was " Grease" bar. It had great old tunes and a karaoke (that Kay asked the guy to open an hour early so she could get a sing song) 😀 Great stuff. Keep the videos coming.
Hi Kevin, we have stayed at villa Recife a few times, it is one of the oldest if not the oldest house in Albufeira old town, it was extended many years ago and made into a hotel, there is an old photo near reception, also there are two roof terrace s with sun lounges you take the lift to the top floor to get on the roof, also you haven't explored the old town fully, there is a great restaurant only small place called ovalarios you get 4 courses beer wine, and more on the tourist menu €11.00. Have you been to the new town we call it the noisy strip, hens stags all sorts, ok during the day, very noisy & busy at night. Been to Portugal many many time, love Albufeira, we will be there in October where I will be DJing. Loving the videos, keep them coming. Stephen & Denise from Stockport.
That looks great now I no what me hubby misd when we were cancelled 2 year ago, roll on September or October be there, thanks for showing your a gent kevin
The 'Old Town' is the original part and has its lively spots and overall is a better place than 'The Strip'. The Old Town is really for the over 30's, or so and 'The Strip' is for the under 30's, (mainly the under 25's,) and is more like Benidorm. The Old Town square where the first half of this video is filmed is the heart, but there are various lively streets off it aswell as we see 7 minutes onwards.. I will be there in 24 hours! There are other great towns in The Algarve.
Great atmosphere in these bars. However I think I am gone a bit beyond all that noise. I like a quieter bar with music. Have done bar street however years ago. Great vlog
Great videos as usual Kevin. The guy in the Rock bar wearing a kilt was his band called Fubar? If so they're from Aberdeen and have played Albufeira before. Really good band.
Another great video pal, but can you do us a favour and flip your footage? When you were at the bottom of the escalator, I couldn’t fathom out where you were at first.#arseabouttit
It's great to see you in your element there Kevin. Is it giving tenerife a run for its money but go and enjoy your night tonight before you go home thanks xgain
When was this vlog, I was in the square last night, just looking to see if I am in the background 🙈so busy everywhere but a good atmosphere, weather here is a lot hotter than we were expecting, here until Monday will keep a look out for you if you are still here.
looks nice . was there much comedy or shows/ live music in old town?, looks lively though. any places recommend to sightsee nearby? . what hotel did you stay at? .
@@ScotsmaninTenerife thxs yeah looks ok if was half the price they was asking for ( was looking at booking 2 weeks for me and my mum somewhere in Albuferia or benidorm or so) but looks very basic even if had a small kitchen / bigger balony but location does look quite good.
Is there anywhere in Portugal you would suggest that would be good to take a family with a kid? A 12 year old kid? Places with theme parks and that kind of thing?
Thanks for Watching !

86,97,99,2001,2014 and 2018...certainly changed over the years, but still holds the magic and so many memories that I am compelled to return...
Been lucky enough to visit this resort on numerous occasions, it really is a great place for a holiday 👍
Agree.

Love albufeira, great place. Nice to see it getting back to normal. Steer clear of the strip though, stay in the old town. 👍
16 years since we were there from canada my god it’s buisy full of life awsome need a trip back
Wow great Video my friend place is Buzzing. Many thanks.🍻
Love the square there, even in daytime they have musicians there. Thanks Kevin 😁

Great video, brings back so many memories. I think the girl making cocktails at 10-15 used to work in Mambos on the strip.
Got to say Kev , that resort looks fantastic, especially at night, great bars & restaurants, everything you want by the look of it , terrific atmosphere about with all the live music. Think I need to be visiting this place .👍
Totally agree
You did well to avoid the Mooner!

Hi love the vlog check out Lima's bar. It used to be near the beach. Enjoy the rest of your time there.
I’ve had a few drinks in the Rock bar. Love the old town. The strips a bit too wild now.
Party time awesome night life
Great atmosphere in these bars. However I think I am gone a bit beyond all that noise. I like a quieter bar with music. Have done bar street however years ago. Great vlog
Thanks , lots of quiet streets near there more videos soon.
Bringing back memories Kevin have not been since 2019.
Brilliant

Mate your like me my Mrs and kids we can't get enough of the old town we would leave Manchester for good if we could
Great place.
I was the Scottish singer 🤘🤘
nice one , great band catch you next time I am over.
Great videos as usual Kevin. The guy in the Rock bar wearing a kilt was his band called Fubar? If so they're from Aberdeen and have played Albufeira before. Really good band.
Thanks not sure , he did sound from up that way.
Another great video pal, but can you do us a favour and flip your footage? When you were at the bottom of the escalator, I couldn’t fathom out where you were at first.#arseabouttit
Ignore that, I was pissed when I wrote it 🥴
On Sunday you'll get Pans Pipes all day in the square LOL. They're good though but go on a bit.
Is that near shopping centre looks built up since I was there
Going there in September so any tips would be appreciated we are older folk in our 50's
lots of bars in the square Helen, side streets a bit more quiet. Many bars have live music, nice restaurants up near the church. You will love it.
Thanks for the vlog you will be big if you keep going .I would say you are better than them when they just started.
Thanks
It's great to see you in your element there Kevin. Is it giving tenerife a run for its money but go and enjoy your night tonight before you go home thanks xgain
Thanks.
Not a mad night club scene place, most places are not open till very late.
Yip the strip is later
When was this vlog, I was in the square last night, just looking to see if I am in the background 🙈so busy everywhere but a good atmosphere, weather here is a lot hotter than we were expecting, here until Monday will keep a look out for you if you are still here.
was few nights ago Paula I have just left, agree weather so warm during the day.
@@ScotsmaninTenerife Safe journey home, love your vlogs, I usually watch in the background, all gives the thumbs up though 👍😁
looks nice . was there much comedy or shows/ live music in old town?, looks lively though. any places recommend to sightsee nearby? . what hotel did you stay at? .
lots of live music, no comedy. Stayed in hotel vila recife it was ok bit noisy but cheap check out the video i done showing you rooms. thanks
@@ScotsmaninTenerife thxs yeah looks ok if was half the price they was asking for ( was looking at booking 2 weeks for me and my mum somewhere in Albuferia or benidorm or so) but looks very basic even if had a small kitchen / bigger balony but location does look quite good.
This place looks good but never been would you recommend it for couples?
The best Chinese (EVER) is along the Strip at Santa Eulalia about 2miles away.
Is there anywhere in Portugal you would suggest that would be good to take a family with a kid? A 12 year old kid? Places with theme parks and that kind of thing?
@8:57 you walked passed Hotel California it was on your right
I haven't heard what happened when you got barred from the restaurant in Portamao have I missed it?? 🤣
Coming soon lol
I'm getting on; a bit too noisy for me these days.
Any chance you could do a video regarding Paladim Alagoamar Hotel?
maybe I have family staying there soon.
@@ScotsmaninTenerife Oh, well hope to see a video about it soon bud!
Just seen my brother on your vid,
Aw no way !
@@ScotsmaninTenerife yeah, been to Albufeira a few times myself, as you say, it amazing. enjoying your vids
